Is there anyone on Nostr who doesn’t know how to self-custody #Bitcoin?
Discussion
I do but my zapped stack is on my hot wallets.

The next few years will see massive inflows of users that are first nostr, then lightning, then on-chain cold storage.
I want to believe!
What's your rationale?
1) More people can grasp the idea of censorship of speech than they can financial censorship (let alone economic theory) which makes the idea of open social platforms very easy to understand and easier to see a need for, especially in today’s age of political polarization and corporate tech centralization.
2) The incentives, network effect, and overall social norms of a native lightning network on nostr, in a very real sense gives energy and life to the system.
The ease of use of the network to the user, coupled with the low cost and high benefits of utilizing the network, makes it an easy and logical next step.
3) The new price discovery of a 2024 halving, alongside a rapidly scaling nostr protocol—means as price goes up—the growing user base will seek to obtain more of the underlying asset, seek to learn about it, and in turn seek to hold the bearer asset in self custody and it’s intended to be held.
Very unlikely
I could use some advice
Here’s my #Bitcoin self-custody note. I’ll zap anyone who does it better! ⚡️
🧐 You got some Bitcoin on an exchange?
Let’s try sending up to 50 000 Satoshis to Blockstream Green wallet. 🔥
📱 Download it on your device.
Write down and secure the 12 words. 🔐
📪 Generate a receiving address in Green and use it on the exchange where your Bitcoin is and send all.
Find the TXID from your sending receipt, paste it into mempool.space and watch the magic happen. ✨
⏰ Funds should be confirmed in your Green wallet in ten or so minutes.
Congratulations you have taken self custody of Bitcoin. 😈
🚀 Keep educating yourself, get a hardware wallet like Blockstream Jade, Trezor or ColdCard, learn how to use and graduate to cold storage of Bitcoin!
Stay humble and stack sats 👌
